A quarter pound of gourmet Bourbon vanilla — the home baker's sweet spot.
Roughly 25–30 plump Grade A beans, moist and pliable, with the deep caramel-and-cream aroma that made Madagascar the world's most trusted origin. This is the size for bakers who use real beans regularly: enough for a season of custards, ice creams, and infusions without running dry mid-recipe.
Why Grade A: gourmet-standard moisture and seed density, hand-graded for aroma, appearance, and curing integrity. These beans split cleanly and scrape generously.
Perfect for: ice cream bases, pastry cream, vanilla sugar jars, infused syrups and honey, poached fruit, and show-stopping desserts where the seeds do the talking.
Better per-bean value than small packs — and beans this fresh keep beautifully in an airtight container.
The benchmark origin, stocked for real baking.
